He was fined $10 or five days. - Chocolates the best in the world 50c a Pound, The Morning Astorian is pleased to announce, on the authority of E. M. Baker, owner of the Star Theatre property at the corner of Eleventh and Commercial streets, that negotia tion arc underway for the Immediate demolition of that building and the early construction of a splendid four (or five) storied reinforced cement block covering the entire area, SO by 100 feet, and costing from $100,000 to $125,000. The ground floor will be devoted to cveral handsome and modern stores and the upper floor to an ideal apartment house. The plan for the building have been decided upon and are now in process of draughting, and will in clude a provision for the fifth story, if it shall not be incorporated in the original structure, a matter that Mr. Baker has not yet determined. He is about to close a deal with Mr. Fritz, the lesce of the theatre, for the relinquishment of the unexpired 18 months of the lease held on that es tablishment; and has already made full arrangements with Leandcr Le beck, of this city, for the driving of the foundation piling. There will be no unnecessary delay in the prosecu tion of this fine improvement and Mr. Baker is making it after deep study and deliberation as to the future value of such a pronounced invest ment, his conclusion being that As toria is as good a point as any on the coast and plenty of encouraging sign to warrant the determination. He ia confident the investment will pay steadily and handsomely and is backing his judgment to the limit. It will be the first structure to be built here for the matter named and of any pretention, and is likely to set the pace for the further employment of the cement block in such new en terprises a shall develop in Astoria. His ambition and confidence are to be commended, and the city is to be congratulated on the acquisition in store ,as it will rank among the very finest of her new and modern equip ment in this line, being, as it is, upon the most conspicuous of her down-town commercial properties. VERY GRAVELY ILL. Collector of Customs Carnahan Com pelled to Submit to Operation. The friends of Collector of Cu torn Clark W. Carnahan were as tonished, and pained, when they learned, yesterday, of the sudden and eravc illness that had overtaken him, and that he was lying at St, Mary' hospital in a critical condition, result ant from complexities following a rather serious operation for abces of the car. It wa known that he had been suffering for several days from hi ear, but no one suspected that it would eventuate so seriously. He was attended by Doctors Alfred Kinney. J. A. Fulton and H. L. Henderson; and the operation was a complete success, until a latent at fection of the stomach asserted itself and contributed to a practical col lapse, from which, at a late hour last night, he had not rallied. There is much anxiety felt for the sufferer and as the Astorian goes to press the re ports from St. Mary's are in no sense cheerful as Mr. Carnahan still re mains unconscious. The hope is abroad through the city that a turn for the better will transpire and that he may rally com pletely from the dread pas to which his malady has subjected him. About April 8 will remove to Astora Saving Bank Bldg., ground floor. ROAD BUSINESS IN COUNTY COURT DAY DEVOTED TO CONSID ERATION OF IMPORTANT HIGHWAY MATTERS IN CLUDING NEW ROAD.

Sauarely Before the People- In order that every person and newspaper in the State may have an authoritative statement of the rela tive merits of the two fishing bills to be voted on by the Oregon electorate at the April primaries, Secretary lid. Rosenberg, of the United Ushermen of the Pacific, with headquarters in this city, yesterday mailed to every paper in Oregon, the complete text of the, initiative bill proposed Dy tne Columbia River Salmon Protective Association bill (known as the "Gill- nptter's bill") and of the so-called bill, togtther with a full compendium of the arguments for and against each measure, and in cluding beside the bills, and the ar guments aforesaid, the data relating to the Wood river closing; letters from Secretary Straus, Jordan and Nelson, Senator Fulton and Senator Piles: Dhotoeraphs of the fishwheels and the Oregon Fish Commissioner's press report. The matter is worth the best attention, of every voter in the State, and will aid in a clear un derstanding of the situation. , INTERESTED IN ASTORIA. Hon. Geo. S. Shepherd, the young Portland attorney, who is' before the people of the Second Congressional District of Oregon for primary nomi- The commissioner's court in and for Clatsop county devoted the sec ond day of its April term to the con sideration of the roads of the county, new and old. The court took cognizance of the reports of the viewers heretofore ap pointed in the matter of the roads petitioned for by C. A. Jurma, et als; bv Mr. Sloop, et als: and P. A Lar son and others, and said reports were severally approved' and the roads in question were declared to be public hiehwavs of the county. The bond of John Takola, as su pervisor of road district No. 16, was examined and approved by the court; as was that of Alexander Duncan, of the Elk Creek road. In the matter of the new road to connect this county with Tillamook at the boundary line, the preliminary survey of the route proposed and the profile thereof, as furnished by County Surveyor Astbury and Assist ant Surveyor Austin, were duly scanned by the court and ordered filed. The consensus of opinion was that the documents indicated that a good road may be established over the proposed line, with a miximum urade of 3 per cent. In the matter of the Cairnsmore road, the court directed Road Master Bartoldus to proceed with the m provement of that thoroughfare from the intersection of the Clatsop Plains road to the loose sands; and from there on. as occasion demanded, to lay planking. And in this behalf an order was made for the purchase of 84.000 feet of fir lumber from the D. L. Kelly Lumber Company at War-! renton, at $14.50 per thousand. Adjournment was then taken. The following letter, just received at this office, is a sharp indication of how an astute politician will some times blunder, when he is beat con vinced of his factional estimates and the wisdom of his shrewdest plays. The tone of the letter is identical with the declarations made to the editor of this paper on the street of Astoria yesterday, by Silas L. Jones, one of the oldest and best in formed men in T. P. A., circles, and shows that the false move of Gover nor Chamberlain made in naming II. A. McAllister to the office of Fish Warden of Oregon, is working ad versely in the very core of the ele ment he had hoped to use freely and successfully at the June polls: 'Medoffd, Or, April 1, 1908. "Editor Daily Astorian. "I notice in yesterday's Oregonian our article regarding the appoint ment of H. C. McAllister as Fish Warden, and you seem inclined to the idea that Governor Chamberlain made this appointment at the request of the Travelennz Men of the 1. r. A., as you least felt he would secure their good feeling by so doing. "As one of the oldest traveling men of this State and as a member of the T. P. A. I wish to protest and also voice the protests of many other traveling men. When I first heard of Mr. McAllister's efforts to secure the position of Fish Warden it amused me and seemed to me to be the grandest exhibition of GALL I had ever heard of, and this feeling! was voiced by quite a number of traveling men who were with me at the time. If the Governor made the appointment with the hope of secur ing assistance from the traveling men I am sorry for him, as I fear it will cost him more votes than it can pos sibly make. Traveling men, as a rule, do not talk politics; at times, however, conditions .force men... to declare themselves. This happened some years ago and many traveling men supported the present Governor and were glad to do so. "Personaly, I have always enter tained a high regard for Mr. Cham berlain, and am sorry that I must feel that he has made a mistake by pur suing the course he has, regarding the appointment of Fish Warden.
